Definitions
- the present invention relates to respirator masks worn on a user's face for protection against gases, vapors and particulates, and more particularly to a half-mask respirator.
- respirators have a facepiece made of a soft compliant material, typically rubber, that rests against the wearer's face and forms a seal in conjunction with the wearer's facial skin.
- Some respirators are made of thick rubber to support the filters and exhalation valve attached thereto. See , e.g. , U.S. Patent Nos. 2,652,828 (Matheson) and 4,155,358 (McAllister et al.). Thick rubber can make the respirator heavy and uncomfortable to wear. Additionally, the thicker the rubber, the more costly it is to manufacture the respirator due to the increased material costs. If the rubber is made thinner, the mask tends to collapse onto the user's face, particularly while tightening the harness after donning the respirator. U.S.
- Patent No. 5,062,421 (Burns) describes a respirator mask which incorporates a large single insert that serves as a structural member to support the facepiece.
- the disadvantage with the Burns respirator is that it is not flexible enough to provide a comfortable fit over a wide range of face sizes.
- EP-0309277A describes a respiratory mask having a facepiece formed of a flexible material with semi-rigid filtration elements included therein such that they form part of the facepiece.
- respirator mask It is desirable to provide a better fitting, lightweight respirator mask with a firm but flexible facepiece, that is more versatile and economical to make than existing respirator masks. Similarly, the respirator mask should be comfortable to wear for extended periods of time without collapsing on the user's face.
- the present invention provides a very comfortable and lightweight respirator mask having a soft compliant facepiece with more than one stiffening elements integrated therein.
- a soft compliant facepiece with more than one stiffening elements integrated therein.
- the integral stiffening elements are made of a lightweight rigid material, preferably a plastic such as polypropylene, and are joined by a flexible material, preferably thermoplastic rubber, such that the facepiece is flexible enough to provide a comfortable seal on the wearer's face but stiff enough to preclude collapse against the wearer's face.
- the respirator further comprises a yoke featuring a centered exhalation valve cover.
- the yoke wraps around the facepiece and has apertures that correspond to those in the stiffening elements.
- the filter cartridges are preferably attached to a connection on the appropriate stiffening elements.
- a harness is attached to the yoke to position and secure the respirator on the wearer's head. Such harness may be attached to the yoke by apertures on each arm of the yoke.
- Respirator facepiece 10 preferably comprises three stiffening elements 20, 30, and 40, respectively, made of a lightweight material, preferably a moldable plastic, and more preferably polypropylene or glass filled polypropylene, which are held together by a thermoplastic rubber 50, preferably one that has polypropylene in it such as baton, starflex or sanoprene.
- Two of the stiffening elements 20 and 30 comprise the sides of the facepiece, are mirror images of each other, and are shaped substantially like teardrops with generally circular apertures 21 and 31, respectively, located in the base of the teardrop.
- the stiffening elements are bonded at their outer edge to ensure a seal with the rubber.
- the stiffening elements may be slightly curved to better accommodate facial features.
- the apertures 21 and 31 in the side stiffening members 20 and 30 are of sufficient size to accommodate commercially available filter cartridges and are adjacent to a connector for attaching such filters to the stiffening elements.
- the side stiffening members possess flanges 22, 23, 24, 32, 33 and 34 for mating with the flanges of such filter cartridges.
- the center stiffening member 40 is generally rectangular in shape, preferably with one end 41 being slightly narrower than the other end 42, and having an aperture 43 substantially centered from the sides of the rectangle 44 and 45 and located closer to the longer end of the rectangle.
- the aperture 43 in the center member is preferably circular and of sufficient size to accommodate an exhalation valve therein.
- the flexible material 50 of the facepiece is preferably a thermoplastic rubber that has polypropylene in it.
- it is made by injection molding using a cavity conforming to the desired shape of the facepiece and adapted to accommodate positioning the stiffening elements 20, 30, and 40 in their final desired positions in the facepiece.
- the center member 40 is positioned in the mold with the narrower end 41 of its rectangular shape on top and between the points of the two teardrop shaped side member 20 and 30 such that after molding the side members may move in hinge-like fashion in relation to the center member.
- each stiffening element is mechanically bonded to the rubber so that it can move relative to the adjacent stiffening elements and thereby provide the needed flexibility.
- the configuration of the mold, and the positioning of the stiffening elements therein permits the thermoplastic rubber to completely surround each edge of every stiffening element, including the aperture edge, such that the stiffening elements are separated from one another by a strip of thermoplastic rubber, and each aperture in the side stiffening members is encased by the thermoplastic rubber so as to be able to form a friction fit with a filter cartridge.
- flexible materials include hycar or silicon rubber. Of course, one would have to use a primer with these materials to achieve a chemical bond between the rubber and the stiffening elements.
- a yoke 60 is typically placed on top of the facepiece 10.
- the yoke is made of a semi-rigid material, preferably plastic. When the respirator is assembled, the yoke is centered on and extends across the exterior surface of the facepiece. In the center of the yoke is an exhalation valve cover 61 that mates with the exhalation valve aperture 43 of the facepiece.
- the yoke has two halves 62 that extend from opposing sides of the exhalation valve cover 61. Each half 62 of the yoke has a substantially circular aperture (not shown) that complements the corresponding substantially circular filter cartridge aperture 21 and 31 on the facepiece 10.
- each half 62 of the yoke 60 From each half 62 of the yoke 60 extend two prongs 67 and 68 that contain openings 64 and 65 at the end of each prong for receiving a harness 70 that will position and secure the facepiece 10 and yoke 60 to head of the wearer.
- the harness 70 preferably consists of three adjustable elastic straps 71, 72 and 73 that are attached to the yoke 60.
- the top straps 71, 72 of the harness are attached to two strips of plastic that form a headband 74 which fits over the crown of the wearer's head.
- An adjustable bottom strap 73 fits around the wearer's neck and is threaded through an aperture 65 in the yoke. The wearer may adjust the fit of the respirator mask by tightening or loosening the elastic straps. Such adjustments may be made while the respirator mask is worn.
